Nota da Realizadora Director’s Statement
In France, the very first stages of the witch hunt took place exactly where I grew up. These forests where herbalists were harvesting plants, these roman chapels: I deeply know them. Their image is already printed in me and I can stage many ghosts among them. On these powerful scenes, I have dreamt ofvsisters from another age, a midwife and her apprentice in particular: a woman and the young one who is coming up in front of the power of a deadly tale. Both of them were drawn with a high sense of purity, and I have kept on making their contemporary aspect resonate in each shot.
